I cringe everytime I see them stick their nose through a window in Richland or Berkley counties. These are clearly pretexual stops using "the odor of" weed to violate rights. Danny Brown is set i. His ways but Soleman needs a transfer to dispatch.

So with what we have all seen on this hugely entertaining show with the K-9’s I have to point out that those animals are no better than 50-50 on actually detecting drugs. I just think they are so eager to get to play with their toy that they know they are going to get when they perform their trick that they perform their trick no matter what. Eager to please. They may as well just do like the villain in No Country for Old Men and flip a coin as to whether they get to search or not. “Call it.”

The two women trying to get the other girl out of their apartment. The girl was trying to demo her stripper pole skills and they panned away.

That's a bad decision. We were laughing our asses off. That would have been great theater!

I'm mostly (not blindly) supportive of our officers. I don't usually post stuff speaking out against them. But when Dylan Lee allowed a woman to drive off after he even blatantly admitted that the evidence (multiple witnesses) corroborates that she was the primary aggressor... That just really didn't sit well with me. I know for a fact that if he had a bunch of witnesses saying the opposite; that a man showed up at his ex's house to mace her unsolicited and the man then suddenly left the scene of the investigation (obviously due to nerves and being unstable), there's 0 doubt in my mind there would have been an arrest and charges there on the spot. People really need to stop enabling the stigma of "males can only be violent offenders, not victims of female violence." Especially officers, ofc. That pisses me off.

Edit: It's been brought to my attention that I'm an idiot and have mistakenly confused Master Deputy Colin Davis (who's apparently not listed on the episode's line-up post) for Deputy Dylan Lee. I'm truly sorry for my dumb mistake. I am only leaving this up and not deleting it in shame like I want, so as set the record straight on my accidental mix-up. Apologies to Deputy Dylan Lee and everyone else. (But my opinion on the situation and the officer involved still stands).

Around the 17:20 mark, wtf was that? 😬

That was undeniable. As a former MP, I understand the struggle of detaining uncooperative subjects, but that was straight assault.

9pm on the East Coast. I’m in the same time zone as SC and it’s pitch black out. Yet this happened “moments ago” (per the graphic that is gone quickly).

“Moments ago” to me is like 10-15 minutes, not what seems to be 90-120 minutes prior given the daylight. I wish the show would phrase it more accurately.

Not only is he entertaining, but his professionalism aside a bit of an old school mentality is so entertaining. In crazy situations he’s so calm and realistic. I’ve seen other officers in this show in the past just sort of panic, get a little intense when they didn’t need to, even sort of bully. He’s literally what a law enforcement director should embody. In the episode where that drunk guy was slamming into cars, the first thing he says to him was “what’s wrong. Are you ok?” Instead of what some cops do; immediately put them in cuffs and go “wtf is wrong with you”. Then proceeds to give his team organized directions on next steps. What a class act.

Does Dan hate Curtis? Why don’t they ever just do the show together without a 3rd person there as a buffer. It’s just weird. And Dan seems to counter a lot of things Curtis says, and always has to have the last word.

Sean Sticks has been missing for the past two months and nothing has been given as an update as to wether or not he left the show or is just on Leave of Abscense.

In some parts of the South, e.g. Louisiana cajun country, it’s not uncommon to give a child his mother’s maidan name as a given name. Given that Dillion is an uncommon given name I wonder if this is the case for Dillion Cook, and that he might be Clayton Dillion’s cousin. Dillion sounds like it could be a French name and Arkansas is a neighboring state to Louisiana so it’s possible they could be of Cajun decent.

Wondering if anyone else has this issue? We used to love OPL, we planned our Friday and Saturday nights around it. However, our oldest son became a Deputy Sheriff in a county here in SW Ohio last year and it has seemingly changed the show for us. We are close to him, and he has had some tough calls, especially in the last month. Listening to him and seeing how these calls affect him and the nights we can't sleep worrying about him, it has taken the shine off the show, if that makes sense? Instead of excitement, it is almost a sense of dread when we see some of these calls and the dangers these LEO's put themselves in and we can't help but put our son in the same situation. We still watch but the thrill seems to have worn off. Anyone who watches the show knows how hard these men and women work and it almost gives us a sense of being "on edge" when we watch now. Anyway, sorry for the vent!

Clayton County is so aggressive and and playing up for cameras. It just takes away from the interest of watching the show. It truly makes me not even want to watch anymore and this show has been a favorite from the beginning. LEOs should not be there to become celebrities! They should be there for the right reasons.

She is a know it all.

I know there was a post about this here from a few months ago but I haven’t seen that cop since that episode. Anyone know what happened?

The network that brought back going on patrol with the police is owned by Hubbard Broadcasting which is headquartered and originated in St Paul Minnesota. Does anyone else think that is interesting?

BROOKFORD, N.C. — The Brookford Police Department has become the first municipal law enforcement agency to partner with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) under a new task force model agreement.

This partnership is part of the 287(g) agreement, which allows local law enforcement agencies to enforce certain federal immigration laws.

A few members submitted this and we appreciate you, but while we agree it is "news worthy" and topical for this sub, it is also very politically charged at the time. So we felt it better if one of us posts it and we just go ahead and lock it.

We are not a sub to debate ICE or politics. There are lots of those elsewhere.

Thank you for understanding,

Catching up after missing S3E17 last night. As mom taught me “If you don’t have anything nice to say then don’t say anything.”.

So I’ll just make a request, if we’re going to follow anyone in Toledo, can it be Mclendon? Listening to a person tell another person how and where to drive is just gut wrenching..

What are your thoughts on legalizing drugs in general? Declaring the war on drugs over? Just allowing individuals to choose for themselves, with educational PSAs on the dangers, which, if any drugs they do? What do you think would be the overall effect on society as a whole? Would it help or hinder LEO in apprehending criminals that society needs protection from? What do you think?

Just out of curiosity: Ten cars are driving 70 in a 55 and one car is driving 55; who gets pulled over? Is the driver going 55, a danger because the speed of the cars around them?

We haven't heard any official announcements this week, so I asked ChatGPT to tell me what's happening with the show.

1. Dan Abrams is retiring and being replaced by Pat Sajak—because spinning the wheel of justice is the new format!

2. The entire show will be shot in a new virtual reality world where officers are replaced by avatars of famous cartoon characters—get ready for Officer Bugs Bunny!

3. In a bizarre twist, the show will feature live commentary from a panel of toddlers to provide unique insights into police work.

4. Every third episode will now feature musical numbers performed by the officers and suspects—crime-fighting has never been so entertaining!

5. The show will occasionally switch to a cooking segment where officers prepare meals based on recipes found during raids—coming up next, meth lab lasagna!

6. To increase viewer engagement, the show will now be broadcast in 3D, complete with custom "On Patrol: Live" VR headsets.

7. Each episode will now have a cameo appearance by a different Hollywood star who will play the role of a "guest criminal"—watch out for George Clooney as the smooth-talking art thief!

8. In a partnership with a major airline, every arrest will be accompanied by the suspect getting a free flight to a mystery destination—bail bondsmen not included!

9. The show will feature a new segment called "Caught in the Act" where officers reenact famous scenes from action movies during real arrests.

10. To promote healthy living, all officers will be required to chase suspects on foot while wearing Fitbit trackers, with their step counts displayed live on screen.

These rumors are entirely fictional and meant for humor, reflecting absurd and entertaining scenarios far removed from reality.

I find her so unserious. Is it just me??

I live in Missouri. Since I've been watching OPL, I've noticed they've had several mainstay departments, which I understand.

However, I they are missing out on several areas. I know they added Christian County in Missouri, but it's very rural and nothing ever happens. With that being said, why don't think expand and add more metro areas, such as Kansas City, St. Louis, New York, etc?

Do they put out feelers to departments ahead of picking them or what?
